In exercise of the powers conferred on me by section 35 of the Police Act 1964(1), as extended by section 13 of the Superannuation (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1967(2) and sections 12 and 15 of the Superannuation Act 1972(3), and after consulting the Police Negotiating Board for the United Kingdom in accordance with section 2(3) of the Police Negotiating Board Act 1980(4), I hereby make the following Regulations—

(2) Notwithstanding Regulation 3(4) of the principal Regulations, in these Regulations “totally disabled” means incapable by reason of the disablement in question of earning any money in any employment and “total disablement” shall be construed accordingly.

(3) In the case of a person who is totally disabled, Regulation 13(1) of the Police Pensions Regulations 1973(6), as applied by Regulation 3(2) of the principal Regulations, shall have effect, for the purposes of these Regulations, as if the reference to “that disablement being ... ... ... ... likely to be permanent” were a reference to the total disablement of that person being likely to be permanent.

Injury benefit

4.—(1) The Police (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987 (7) shall apply, subject to the necessary modifications, in relation to—

(a) A person who—

(i) receives or received an injury without his own default in the execution of his duty, whether before, on or after 25th November 1982; and

(ii) on or after that date ceases or has ceased to serve as a police cadet; and

(iii) on or after that date and within 12 months of so receiving that injury, becomes or became totally and permanently disabled as a result thereof; and

(b) a police cadet who—

(i) receives or received an injury without his own default in the execution of his duty, whether before, on or after 25th November 1982; and

(ii) was serving as a police cadet on or after that date; and

(iii) within 12 months of so receiving that injury, dies or has died as a result thereof,

as they apply in the case of a person such as is mentioned in Regulation 4(1) or, as the case may be, Regulation 5(1) of those Regulations, and as if references in those Regulations to any of the provisions of the Police Pensions Regulations 1973 included references to those provisions as applied in relation to police cadets by the principal Regulations.

(2) These Regulations shall have effect in relation to a police cadet notwithstanding Regulation 4(3) of the principal Regulations; and accordingly there shall be inserted therein after the words “any enactment” the words “other than the Police Cadets (Injury Benefit) Regulations 1987”.
